    Have you seen how pissy those gya can get? They have hair-trigger tempers and you do not want to piss them off. If anything, they're doing this to protect you.

    And on the off chance they track down my friends-only Facebook account, there’s always the “block” option. 

     

    Or, if they’re extra hair-trigger stalkery, they’ll fly to Toronto to come find me, none the wiser that I’m back in Winnipeg already.

    And you know what? If they had said “Hey, the band wants you to buy these cheki instead of taking a few photos. Pick 5 for $20.” I would be fine with that. But they haven’t. Then, the motivation for restricting photos would have had exactly the same motivation as in Japan (monetary).

     

    The only reason that I can see for disallowing the Meet and Greet photos seems to be protecting the feelings of their gya back home that can’t meet them anymore. For that, I understand.

     

    But there’s only so much of my experience that I’m willing to sacrifice solely to protect the feelings of people who get to see the band multiple times a year, for longer and more diverse set lists, and a wider variety of merch options.

    The difference is, it's easier to share their stuff than actually plan out going to another fucking country just to go to a concert. VK bands rarely have the gall to come overseas, especially these days, so at least give them some respect.

    If you haven’t noticed, the people reporting from The Wiltern weren’t even told that photos during the concert were prohibited. Only professional equipment.

    Photos were only prohibited during the Meet & Greet.

     

    What my problem is, is that there’s inevitably some White Knights that come out of the woodwork that choose to be elitist about this one issue, while ignoring all of the other things that the fandom does that the bands don’t like.

    That reminds me; when I was about sixteen, I made one of those cootie-catcher fortune teller things that would tell you who your VK boyfriend was, and I kept bothering my straight male friends with it. If I remember rightly, the ones I picked for it were Juri (ex-DELUHI/Breakin' Holiday), Reita (the GazettE), Hitomi (ex-Moran), Chisa (ex-DIV/ACME), Shiina Mio (UNiTE), Kamijo (Versailles), Lay (Fatima) and Gackt. I could be totally wrong with some of those. I'm beginning to wonder if I still have it knocking about somewhere. I'll look for it, and if I find it, I'll see if I remembered them all correctly.

     

    ETA: I was right with everyone except Lay. I had Yo-ka from DIAURA... shoulda known. I haven't changed a diddly-darn bit.

    You should have rigged it to read “Gackt” in all cases.

    wonder why he'd leave it 12 years to do that

     

    also, this feels really odd to me because the start of their hiatus lines up almost exactly with when i started getting into vk

    Apparently, he’s dealing with a legal scandal. Not sure what, but the closest thing i’ve seen from translations is “something heinous”.

    She probably believes that the fandom happened entirely through osmosis, where Patient Zero Weeb went to Japan, bought thousands of cds and DVDs, then moved back to their home country and spread the VK virus to all of the friends they could show it to, who all did the same thing. Like some bizarre chain letter.

     

    You know, kind of like what Dada believes, but with a random weeb spreading it around instead of Kiwamu.

    I'm not sure if trolling or not, but i'll bite

     

    Fair fucks to them for that, although it doesn't looke like the manchild audience was much captivated by them when their pinned tweet about the new song has a whopping 73 likes and 28 retweets ( and make sure to take out the ones from the band itself, so deduct about -5 on them retweets. ) Even on youtube it's not really setting the world on fire at 21k views in three months. Also how's the touring going by the way? Let me check what's going on their OHP... Oh! Absolutely nothing. Actually, how come a band that broke through 500k with one video hasn't had a one-man in their own city hmm... oh it's probably because most of the views came from Rajesh and Sanjay at the bot factory Mumbai. Maybe they should tour there.  I mean they did perform at free festivals tho for what most certainly was for no pay. Shitty western vk is a like plant that is able to synthesise flopping into energy and thrive, or at least one of the members is lucid enough to give a handy to a mate organising tours and get along with Morrigan, who are playing at the dome right now I gather? 

     

    The only difference between these awful western vk bands from Scandinavia and your shitty local band is that it's extremely easy to get something going that gives the impression that shits happening when in fact it is not. There's always an anime convention in need of an act to fill up space, and when the scene is so small and your friends are the ones bringing these Japanese bands you get your band to warm them up for them no problem, but when we really bring it down to any real parameter of achievement I would like for someone to point out the size of the crowd they can pull, the record label they're associated with ( the one your dad gave you doesn't count ) and the parity between followers and likes on social media. 

     

     

     

    Now, now. Rajesh and Sanjay legitimately liked those videos. They thought that those girls were very hot with their bobs and vegene. Even the bald one.
